If you've been wondering why The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 5 included the full-time return of Mary Cosby but not her husband, Robert Sr., you aren't alone. Fortunately, Andy Cohen asked the question on everyone's mind's during the first part of the Season 5 reunion.
"Mary, we didn't see Robert Sr. this season," Andy remarked during the January 22 episode, after several of the snowflake holders' partners had joined them onstage. "Why?"
"Well, obvious reasons. He does not want to be a part of this," Mary replied, which prompted laughs from Andy and her fellow cast members.
She continued, "He's happy, and he's good with his life, and he wants nothing interrupted."
Who is Mary Cosby's husband, Robert C. Cosby?
Mary and Robert Sr. have been married for over 25 years! As fans learned in Season 1, the duo inititally met when he was married to her grandmother.
The pastor described their union as "arranged," in a sense, since it was "kind of in her [grandmother's] will" that Mary and Robert marry after her passing.
During a Season 1 interview, Robert Sr. explained the origin of their unconventional partnership. "She said, 'If anything ever happens to me, Bobby, I want you to marry one of my girls because they'll look out for you,'" Robert Sr. recounted of his late wife.
"We're blessed to this day because of it," Mary said.
She elaborated in a Daily Dish exclusive in 2020 that "You're dealt with the cards that you're given and it's up to you to make it happy. I love my life, I have a blessed life, and I love Robert Sr."
Where is Mary Cosby's husband Robert Sr. now?
Today, Robert Sr. lives in the family's home in Las Vegas with the couple's son, Robert Jr.
During the RHOSLC After-Show, Mary said to Angie Katsanevas that the arrangement would help "take [Robert Jr.] away from all the triggers" in Salt Lake City amidst his recovery.
